Abstract excerpt
Pericytes (PCs) are attracting increasing attention as a crucial target for anti-angiogenic therapy. In this study, we sought to determine the functional significance of PCs during angiogenesis by using a skin wound healing model in which different angiogenic stages are identifiable. Angiogenesis was first observed on Day 3 after wounding and increased greatly on Day 5. On Day 5, the leading edge of the...
